Help Your Children Fight Cold and Flu with Probiotics, Important New Study Says

Help Your Children Fight Cold and Flu with Probiotics, Important New Study Says

Children of all ages are exposed to illnesses, like colds and flu, at school and college. Poor diet and stressful schedules only further compromise their immunity. Find out what can help them resist illness and stay healthy, happy and focused.

Our kids have headed back to the classroom, and that means crammed schedules, after-school activities, plenty of play dates, and lack of sleep.

Back to school also means that your kids – in elementary school through college – will be exposed to illnesses that can spread like wildfire through the lunchroom or university dorm.

Between heightened exposure and stressful schedules, their immunity can be compromised, leaving your kids more susceptible to sicknesses like the common cold and flu.

In fact, a new study published in Pediatrics shows that a daily supplement of probiotics may reduce the incidence of cold and flu-like symptoms in children by 50 percent.1

A random group of children were given a daily combination of Lactobacillus and Bifidobacterium, and it was linked to reductions in fever incidence by 73 per cent, a reduction in the occurrence of runny noses by 59 per cent, and drop in the incidence of coughing by 62 per cent, according to findings published in Pediatrics.

The authors also wrote that daily probiotics during the winter months (when we’re more prone to illness) was “a safe and effective way” to “reduce the incidence of antibiotic prescriptions (which kill good bacteria), and the number of missed school days attributable to illness.”

Probiotics obviously make a big difference!

But what’s really interesting is that the research proved that a combination of bacterial strains is most effective. It was the first study to indicate a trend toward more significant results with a combination versus single strain preparation.

And that’s exactly the methodology behind Body Ecology.

We’ve created a line of fermented food and drink Starters and probiotic liquids that effectively combine several strains of beneficial bacteria and beneficial yeast, so that you and your children reap the most health benefits.

What’s the best way to protect your children with probiotics?

A quick trip at your supermarket and health food store will tell you that plenty of mass-produced products like yogurt and supplements are filled with probiotics.

The good news is that doctors and food manufacturers alike are realizing the health benefits of probiotics…But did you know that these products aren’t always what they claim to be? (link to:) The unfortunate truth is that too many probiotic supplements and probiotic foods vary widely in quality and potency.

In fact, researchers at Bastyr University in Washington recently tested a wide variety of probiotic supplements and found that in four out of twenty products no sign of living friendly bacteria was present.2
